Yu Wenze was really surprised when he heard what Zhang Xiaoxue said, he didn't expect Sister Xiaoxue to be so generous, she was able to directly hand over some of the good seeds of corn and potatoes to him now, and she was very grateful to Zhang Xiaoxue in her heart.

This way, he doesn't have to wait another year, he can immediately be able to breed improved varieties at the Department of Agriculture, and he can also see for himself how these two crops are growing.

Yu Wenze felt that no matter how much he said thanks, it was not enough to express his gratitude to Zhang Xiaoxue, and when he said it, there were only two words left left.

"Thank you, if you thank you more, I won't say more, I will give you another 20% of the seeds you give according to the price of seeds on the market.

After you go home and reclaim the wasteland, and plant corn and potatoes, I will always pay attention to it, hoping that there will be a good harvest.

With such high-yield seeds, farmers will no longer be afraid that they will not be able to protect their capital by reclaiming wasteland, and our northern land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are really too many idle wastelands, which can also be used now.

As long as the reclaimed wasteland can have a good harvest, even if it can protect the capital, I believe that the farmers will definitely rush to reclaim the wasteland, so that after two years, the wasteland can also become fertile land. ”

As long as Yu Wenze thought of this, his heart was a little hot, and he really wanted to see the scene of fertile fields full of crops everywhere in the north.

Yu Wenze actually wanted to know how many seeds Zhang Xiaoxue could send him, but he was still embarrassed to ask, even if each kind of seed could only be planted with one acre of land, Yu Wenze would not be too little.

Yu Wenze's eyes sparkled, although he tried his best to hide his excitement, he could still be discovered by Zhang Xiaoxue.

Zhang Xiaoxue smiled faintly, and asked again: "Brother Ze, I don't know how many acres of vacant land you have in the Agricultural Administration here?"

Zhang Xiaoxue asked how much vacant land there was in the Agricultural Bureau, and she planned that if there was not much, within her acceptable range, she thought that it would be good to take seeds from outside according to the amount of vacant land.

"The planting land of the Department of Agriculture has a total area of 1,000 acres, and there should not be much idle land now, and it is basically planted with crops.

To the north are wheat, soybeans, corn, sorghum, peanuts, mung beans and millet.

These crops are carefully attended to by special personnel, and after being screened in the future, they will be used as seeds for sale in official seed stores. ”

Yu Wenze heard Zhang Xiaoxue's inquiry, thinking that it was fortunate that when he came to the fiefdom, he went to the Si Agricultural Bureau to understand the situation, otherwise he really couldn't answer this question, so he explained to her.

"There wasn't much vacant land left, so there wouldn't be much corn and potatoes left.

However, when I was on the road, I saw that the wheat seemed to be about to ripen, and it would probably not be a few days before I harvested the wheat? I wanted to know how much land there was in the Department of Agriculture and Agriculture that could be planted, so I could take out the corresponding seeds according to the number of acres of land. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue heard Yu Wenze tell her that the Agricultural Department only has a total of 1,000 acres of land, and most of them are planted with crops, but she doesn't need to take out many seeds, and even if she plants the corn and potatoes she took out after harvesting the wheat, it is estimated that it is not too much, and it should be within her tolerance.

"I can't give you an exact number of how much spare land and wheat have been planted in the Department of Agriculture, or it's still early anyway, you and I should go to the Department of Agriculture and have a look." ”

Yu Wenze originally wanted people to report to him the number of acres of vacant land and wheat planting in the Agricultural Bureau, but after thinking about it, it was better for him to go with Zhang Xiaoxue now, and take a look at the field, wouldn't it be clearer in his heart.

"Okay!" Zhang Xiaoxue happily agreed.

The Si Agricultural Department is on the outskirts of the county town, about three miles away from the county seat, so Zhang Xiaoxue and Yu Wenze took the carriage of the palace and walked for more than half an hour to get there.

Yan Wang Yu Wenze came in person, and the big Sinong here hurriedly greeted him with a few small officials, feeling a little scared, I don't know why His Royal Highness King Yan came here today.

"How many acres of vacant land are there in the Department of Agriculture? How many acres of land are there for wheat cultivation?"

Yu Wenze saw Da Si Nong's face, and asked directly.

"Back to Your Highness, there is not much vacant land in our Agricultural Bureau, and there are only two acres of land, which were originally planted with some miscellaneous grains and some vegetables, but now they are vacant.

This year, a total of 120 acres of wheat were planted in the Department of Agriculture. ”

Da Si Nong can be said to be in charge of the situation in the Si Nong Bureau, he deals with these crops every day, and when he hears His Highness's inquiry, he speaks out without thinking.

Zhang Xiaoxue was beside Yu Wenze, and naturally heard what Da Si Nong said, and as she expected, only 122 acres of land could be planted with corn and potatoes, and 122 seeds were taken out, which was still within her tolerance.

"How many days will the wheat be harvested?" Yu Wenze asked again.

"If you go back to Your Highness, the wheat is almost ripe, and it is estimated that it will be harvested in six or seven days. ”

Dasi Nong didn't understand, why did His Highness ask when the wheat would be harvested? Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask, if His Highness had any orders, they just had to do it.

"After you harvest the wheat, what kind of grain will be planted on this land?" Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't help but interject.

Although Da Sinong didn't know Zhang Xiaoxue's identity, seeing that she and His Royal Highness King Yan came in a carriage together, he knew that Zhang Xiaoxue's identity should not be low.

For Zhang Xiaoxue's question, Dasi Nong didn't dare to slack off, so he gave an explanation, "After the wheat is harvested, the land will be fertilized again, and then corn will be planted, and a stubble can be harvested before the freeze." ”

It turned out that their original plan was also to plant corn, so it was just right to take out the seeds of corn and potatoes to plant, and it would not delay their plan.

"Brother Ze, the yield of potatoes is much higher than that of corn, at least twice as much, I don't know how many potatoes and corn Brother Ze wants to plant? ”

Because the yield of potatoes is much higher than that of corn, Zhang Xiaoxue still gave Yu Wenze a hint, and it is better to listen to Yu Wenze's plan on how to arrange the planting of these two crops.

Whether he wants to plant the same number of acres of both crops, or chooses a little more potatoes than corn, it is the same for Zhang Xiaoxue.

Yu Wenze heard Zhang Xiaoxue say that the yield of potatoes is twice as high as that of corn, and he calculated in his heart, since the yield of potatoes is higher, of course he has to favor potatoes.
